Week of Fishing

[stubby]

for no one who has been there, re read post # 12!
that area is treacherous and the water around the red nun is especially sinister
i know a lot of guys troll around between the island and shoal but not for the inexperienced
many a prop, out drive and sailboat keel have been destroyed and the tow back is a long one
in the 80's my 23' lyman only drew a foot and half so we would fish between the red nun and reef and see the rocks just below the boat
many times other boats would try to come up to us, but no matter how much we yelled at them they just kept getting closer until there was a loud crash.....we stopped fishing there due to us pulling the dumb azzes off the reef
the first of june the water was on fire with jumbo white bass and some walleye, they would drive the minnows up from the weeds and spawn also
since the zebra's have really hit, i doubt any weeds are there anymore ......jmo....

What areas around the red can should a guy be extra cautious with on the gull island shoal?

My best advice to you would be to get a chart if you don't have GPS, there is to much going on there to be explained in a simple post. You would have to see the danger spots for yourself on a map/chart and then determine if you were going to go into the shoals.There are a lot of danger zones in Gull Shoals.

Lucy's point is the long out cropping and under water finger of rock that runs from the NE corner of Middle bass to the green can that is well away from the island. The ledge runs in a ENE direction toward middle island an gull shoals area. At times you can see water birds standing on the rocks which are just under the surface.
